Álbum Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) de Eurythmics - Canciones
Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)
Reseña
Con su segundo álbum, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), de 1983, el dúo británico Eurythmics entrega la obra que los catapultó de la oscuridad al estrellato mundial. Este trabajo, de hecho, es uno de los discos más icónicos y definitorios de la era del synth-pop, una colección de canciones que combinan la frialdad de la electrónica con una profunda y a menudo melancólica alma pop. Por lo tanto, su impacto fue un auténtico terremoto.
Grabado con medios muy modestos y en un momento de crisis personal para la pareja artística de Annie Lennox y Dave Stewart, en consecuencia, el álbum tiene un sonido minimalista y a menudo oscuro. La producción, a cargo del propio Stewart, se apoya en cajas de ritmos, sintetizadores analógicos y la voz como elemento central, creando una atmósfera única.
Además, el álbum está liderado por la legendaria canción que le da título. "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" es una obra maestra del pop. Su inolvidable y hipnótico riff de sintetizador, su ritmo marcial y su letra, que es una cínica pero resiliente reflexión sobre la búsqueda del éxito, la convirtieron en un himno global. Como resultado, la canción y su videoclip hicieron de Eurythmics un fenómeno.
El videoclip, en particular, fue revolucionario. La imagen andrógina de Annie Lennox, con su pelo corto de color naranja y su traje masculino, desafió todas las convenciones de género de la época y la convirtió en un icono de la moda y de la cadena MTV. Por otro lado, el álbum también contiene otras joyas como la enérgica "Love Is a Stranger".
En definitiva, 'Sweet Dreams' es mucho más que un álbum; es un hito cultural. Es un disco que no solo definió el sonido de los 80, sino que también demostró que se podía hacer música pop que fuera a la vez comercial, artística, inteligente y visualmente impactante.

- Love Is A StrangerVer letra 3:43
[X]letra de Love Is A Stranger
Love is a stranger
In an open car
To tempt you in
And drive you far away
Ooh, love is a stranger
In an open car
To tempt you in
And drive you far away
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
Love is a danger
Of a different kind
To take you away
And leave you far behind
And love love love
Is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it
And you still can't get enough of the stuff
It's savage and it's cruel
And it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood
And it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal
It distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up
And you're left like a zombie
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
It's guilt edged
Glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature
False and unkind
It's hard and restrained
And it's totally cool
It touches and it teases
As you stumble in the debris
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession
And I want you
And I want you
And I want you so
It's an obsession - I’ve Got An Angel

I Could Give You (A Mirror)
How can you be so cold
With my arms to hold you?
How can you be so cold
With my arms to enfold you?
I could give you - A mirror
To show you - Dissappointments
I could give you - A history
Could you ever listen in to me?
How can you be so cold
When there's a fire burning?
How can you be so cold
When all the ice is melting?
I could give you - A mirror
To show you - Dissappointments
I could give you - A history
Could you ever listen in to me? - The WalkVer letra 4:40
[X]letra de The Walk
I could be contended
I don't need to suffer
You're beautiful
Good to talk to
You make an impression
To take my attention
And when you touch my skin
I smell disaster
Step away, walk away
All I want is the real thing
(Nothing but the real thing)
Walking on pavements
We collect in bars
Asleep in the houses
So alone
Looking inside herself
She breaks the glass
Turns her head backwards
She's fallen down again. - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
- JenniferVer letra 5:06
[X]letra de Jennifer
Jennifer with your orange hair
Jennifer with your green eyes
Jennifer in your dress of deepest purple
Jennifer, where are you tonight?
Jennifer, where are you tonight?
Jennifer with your orange hair
Jennifer with your green eyes
Jennifer in your dress of deepest purple?
Jennifer, where are you tonight?
Underneath the water
Underneath the water
Underneath the water
Underneath the water
Jennifer with your orange hair
Jennifer with your green eyes
Jennifer in your dress of deepest purple?
Jennifer, where are you tonight? - This Is The HouseVer letra 4:56
[X]letra de This Is The House
This is the house
This is the hill
This is the story
It's a little thing
A lock of hair
An invisible smoke trail
Nothing there but the dust and the rust
Oh, oh, oh, everything changes
This is your picture
(It's in black and white)
This is the family having a party
There's a crack in the ceiling
And there's an open door
Nothing there but the dust and the rust
Oh, oh, oh, everything changes. - Somebody Told MeVer letra 3:29
[X]letra de Somebody Told Me
Somebody told me
Somebody told me
Somebody told me
Something about you
I didn't believe it
I couldn't believe it
I'm still reeling
'cause i just can't take the blow
Well there's laughter and love
And there's a lot of pain
I never wanna see your
Pretty face again
Full of forgiveness
You're just twisted
I'm a silly little saint
With a halo of smiles
But it makes no difference - This City Never SleepsVer letra 6:20
[X]letra de This City Never Sleeps
You can hear the sound
Of the underground trains
You know it feels like distant thunder
You know there's so many people
Living in this house
And don't even know their names
I guess it's just a feeling - in the city)
Walls so thin I can almost
Hear them breathing
And if I listen in
I feel my own heart beating
